Bioactive Molecule Prediction Using Extreme Gradient Boosting.

Following the explosive growth in chemical and biological data, the shift from traditional methods of drug discovery to computer-aided means has made data mining and machine learning methods integral parts of today's drug discovery process. In this paper, extreme gradient boosting (Xgboost), which is an ensemble of Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and a variant of the Gradient Boosting...

Gradient Tree Boosting for Training Conditional Random Fields

Conditional random fields (CRFs) provide a flexible and powerful model for sequence labeling problems. However, existing learning algorithms are slow, particularly in problems with large numbers of potential input features and feature combinations. This paper describes a new algorithm for training CRFs via gradient tree boosting. In tree boosting, the CRF potential functions are represented as ...

Forest Stand Types Classification Using Tree-Based Algorithms and SPOT-HRG Data

Forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. Traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. Improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. This research co...

Gradient Boosting for Conditional Random Fields

Gradient Boosting for Conditional Random Fields Report Title In this paper, we present a gradient boosting algorithm for tree-shaped conditional random fields (CRF). Conditional random fields are an important class of models for accurate structured prediction, but effective design of the feature functions is a major challenge when applying CRF models to real world data. Gradient boosting, which...
